The Cassandra of Futurism Faith Popcorn: Futurism Doesn’t Come from the Past

Faith Popcorn founded her futurist marketing consultancy in 1974. The New York Times has called her “The Trend Oracle” and according to Fortune Magazine she is “The Nostradamus of Marketing”. Faith is a trusted advisor to the CEOs of Fortune 200 companies and has predicted a variety of trends such as Cocooning and its impact on the COVID culture, Social Media, and The Metaverse. She has been invited to speak all over the planet and is the best-selling author of four books. Finally, in her own words, Faith is a jew educated at a Christian School, a Caucasian who grew up among Asians, a 6th generation New Yorker and the adopted mother of 2 girls from China. During our 2-hour conversation with Faith Popcorn, we cover a variety of interesting topics such as why she is the Cassandra of our era; her unique background and upbringing; the origins of her Faith Popcorn name; futurism, misogyny and gender equality; her mission to bring a vision of what’s coming; saving the planet and the trends to pay attention to; her client cases like Campbell Soup, Kodak, Coke, Pepsi, Tyson Foods and others; male vs female leaders; Futurism vs Applied Futurism; why the future is vegan; why the biggest shifts are in humanity, not in technology; trend recognition, utilization, and creation; AI and the singularity. My favorite quotes that I will take away from this conversation with Faith Popcorn are: The peole who are making today cannot make tomorrow. "Futurism doesn’t come from the past."
